At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.

Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.

The Team:

Pinterest Technical Program Managers are proactive owners with technical expertise. They are aligned to the highest level company priorities to support successful delivery of programs within their teams.

The Platform T/PgM Team is responsible for overall program governance in Infrastructure, Infra Finance, Data Engineering and Security, as well as Compliance and managing our cloud budget.

What you’ll do: As a Staff Technical Program Manager focusing on cross-engineering special projects, you will identify, scope, champion, and land key strategic projects important to advancing Pinterest’s platform and underpinning.

Translate Strategy into Execution — Convert strategic platform priorities into structured, milestone-driven execution plans; operating at both breadth (big picture vision) and depth (driving granular details with engineering teams) to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Shape Planning & Influence Roadmaps — Serve as a thought leader to cross-functional stakeholders during annual and quarterly planning cycles; influencing product and platform roadmap decisions with data-informed perspectives and a deep understanding of organizational priorities and technical tradeoffs.
Build Scalable Processes & Best Practices — Define, institutionalize, and continuously improve program management processes, frameworks, and tooling; elevating organizational execution capability and enabling teams to operate with greater agility, consistency, and efficiency at scale.
Drive Cross-Functional Alignment & Communication — Build transparent, adaptive communication channels across Engineering, Capacity Eng, Production Eng, Product, Security, and Legal; ensuring stakeholders at all levels; from ICs to executives, have timely, accurate visibility into priorities, status, risks, and decisions.
Own Program Outcomes End-to-End — Take full accountability for the success of high-impact programs, ensuring measurable delivery through rigorous planning, proactive risk mitigation, and relentless follow-through; representing program interests at the highest levels of the organization.

What we’re looking for:

Experienced Technical Program Manager — 8+ years of TPM or related experience, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent. With a proven track record of leading and delivering complex migrations, multi-year initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams and organizations.
Cloud Architecture & Systems Domain Knowledge — Working understanding of cloud architecture, infrastructure and data systems or delivery platforms, with the knowledge of compute platforms across the industry, and/or optimization of AWS resources, DevOps, and systems engineering principles; sufficient to engage credibly with technical teams, drive meaningful tradeoffs, and identify cross-system risks.
Strategic Vision & Entrepreneurial Leadership — Strong ability to analyze organizational context, anticipate future scenarios, and shape program roadmaps aligned to company-level strategy and OKRs, with an entrepreneurial spirit that thrives in ambiguity and builds programs from the ground up.
Executive Influence & Thought Leadership — Demonstrated success influencing senior and executive leadership, representing program interests at the highest levels, providing well-reasoned input to critical decisions, and building trusted relationships across disciplines and organizations without relying on formal authority.
Analytical Problem-Solving & Risk Mitigation — Strong analytical and decision-making skills with a track record of using data, innovative approaches, and structured frameworks to navigate complexity, resolve ambiguity, and mitigate program risks proactively.
Operational Excellence at Scale — Demonstrated experience creating and driving efficient, scalable processes and best practices that increase organizational agility, with a focus on institutionalizing repeatable mechanisms that outlast individual programs and enable teams to execute with greater consistency.
Exceptional Communication & Collaboration — Outstanding written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; able to distill nuanced, technical concepts for diverse audiences, build consensus across competing perspectives, and foster an inclusive, collaborative environment that reflects Pinterest's commitment to diversity and belonging.
Workflow Design & AI Fluency — Experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms; including strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts and tools, building dashboards, and leveraging agents to improve decision-making and operational throughput.
